DEATH OF SIR F. P. SMITH.

- We regret to announce the death of Sir Francis Pettit SMITH, which occurred on the 12th. inst. at South Kensington. The event was not altogether unexpected, as the deceased gentleman had for some time been in failing health. Sir F. P. SMITH was born at Hythe, in Kent, on 9th of February, 1808, consequently at his death he had just completed his 66th year. He began life as a grazing farmer in Romney Marsh, whence he removed to Hendon, Middlesex. During his early manhood he constructed numerous models of small boats, for which he contrived various modes of propulsion. In 1834 one of these models, propelled by a screw revolving beneath the water at the stern of the vessel and set in motion by a spring, was found to answer so well that Mr. SMITH deemed the screw to be superior to paddles, which hitherto had been exclusively employed for the propulsion of vessels. He continually improved upon this model, and in 1836 took out a patent for his "screw." In the same year a small vessel of ten tons burden, fitted with the screw, was built; and in 1838 the Archimedes, of 237 tons burthen, similarly fitted, was launched, and proved a great success. The Admiralty after a while adopted the screw in Her Majesty's navy, and private owners shortly recognised its value for the merchant service. Her Majesty, on the recommendation of Lord PALMERSTON, in 1855, granted Mr. SMITH a pension from the Civil List of £200 ( Two Hundred Pounds ) a year, in consideration of his personal services to the navy, and in 1871 conferred upon him the honour of knighthood; but the recognitions by Government of Sir Francis' valuable and continuous services during the best years of his life but inadequately recompensed him for his distinguished achievement. In 1857, at a public banquet in St. James's Hall, a service of plate and £2,678, ( Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy Eight Pounds ) the result of a national subscription, were presented to Mr. SMITH. For 13 years prior to his death Sir Francis held the post of Curator of the Patient Office Museum, South Kensington.
